How can we access the risks of turning off WWV? I know it use to be tied into all sorts of long running industrial, transportation and remote location applications. And was considered the ultimate fall back because it was so simple. Many of these uses may be even forgotten.
I remember helping to set up a LAN in the late 1980’s. They had a WWV receiver with a serial interface to set network’s time. I thought that was super cool. Not too many years before micro computers need to have their clocks set manually with every reboot.
